As you know that Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus announced yesterday were built upon new iOS 8, the iPhone’s most advanced operating system to date – but how does it compare to Google’s Android 4.4 Kitkat? Features comparison of Android 4.4 Kitkat and iOS 8 is given below.

Design

Apple’s iOS 7 from the date of its release, needs some overhauling for visual outlook and design. Due to less 3D look and more flatter design of iOS 7 now Apple try to overcome these deficiency in the coming iOS 8. Now it will be more clean in appearance and its transparent animation gives the illusion of layers that make Apple’s iOS 8 more attractive and easier to navigate through.

Same 3D effect and shadows design is also displayed in the icons and graphics of Android 4.4 Kitkat. Kitkat is more airy and vibrant than its predecessors.

Home Screen

iOS 8’s now coming with featured three or four apps dock at the bottom of home screen. The home screen orientation also change horizontally or vertically and icons can be moves from one point to another. Apps can be moved around and put in themed folders, such as Photography or Social Media, but Apple’s system still has limited scope for customization.

Android’s home screen also can be customized to a vast degree. Both operating systems ( iOS 8, Android Kitkat) alike in many features like (larger) dock, folders and the ability to have several screens of apps. Android 4.4 well known by its nick name Kitkat, its home screen also changes horizontally or vertically when you’re holding your device. In Android kitkat users can easily drop widgets on their home screen.In this way apps more frequently you want to use like weather forecast, current temperature of your city,calculating currency and exchange rate or updating you about your social networks messaging like twitter,facebook and LinkedIn etc.[ads1]
